Los Cabos International Airport

Los Cabos (San José del Cabo / Cabo San Lucas), Mexico

Where to start
Authorized airport transport or a confirmed pre-booked transfer amid conflicting Uber pickup claims

Los Cabos International has Terminal 1 (domestic and some international) and Terminal 2 (international only), so most overseas visitors arrive at Terminal 2. SICT states Uber is not authorized to provide service inside airport polygons, while Uber currently advertises SJD airport pickup. Because the sources conflict, use authorized airport transport or a confirmed pre-booked transfer as the reliable arrival option. Expect timeshare sales staff right after customs.
